    [SOLVED] offsite backup (once again)

    that sounds great, thank you! Is there an ETA for it? I know, most annoying question from sysadmin to dev. :D

    [SOLVED] offsite backup (once again)

    Hi, since a couple of months we have a PBS which works like a charm! It's a dedicated server hardware with a bunch of U.2 NVMe disks, one datastore with five namespaces and different retention strategies. In total about 42 TB of backup data - upward trend. :) Now we would like to do some kind...

    Windows Server update causing boot issues with VirtIO SCSI

    wow, your're right! "... when required" seems to do nothing, when there is already some driver installed. Thanks for your research. I did some further trial & error and figured out that if I deselect "Qemupciserial" ("Entire feature will be unavailable") the installation wizard installs the...

    Windows Server update causing boot issues with VirtIO SCSI

    We ran into this recently. Our workaround goes like this: During the installation wizard, when all components are listed, select "Feature will be installed when required" for every component. We did a quick research and found hints that one of the components, which is required almost never, is...

    [SOLVED] moving backups to another namespace

    Hi there, since a couple of weeks we're testing PBS to be our future backup solution. So far, so great! :) For some minor topics I would like to look for answers here - here we go: Currently we focus on backup the VMs running inside our 3-node-PVE/Ceph cluster. From the beginning we threw...

    Proxmox VE 7.2 released!

    Hey, we had no issues upgrading our three node PVE/Ceph cluster to 7.2 (except for some minor dependency foo during the upgrade process). Our systems based on Supermicro mainboards with AMD EPYC CPUs. Greets Stephan

    Upgrade to 7.2: unmet dependencies

    Hello everyone, today we upgraded our three node PVE/Ceph cluster from 7.1 to 7.2. The first attempt of apt dist-uprade ended up with Errors were encountered while processing: /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-0DYbqq/46-libproxmox-rs-perl_0.1.0_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error...

    server hardware recommendation for PBS with about 50 tb usable storage

    thanks again! Ok, when mdadm isn't supported by Proxmox, it's not an option for us. So ZFS is king, isn't it? And from the few replies I conclude that my hardware suggestion isn't that bad. :)

    server hardware recommendation for PBS with about 50 tb usable storage

    Thanks for this info! In fact I have almost no experience with ZFS so far. Is this basically the way to go when it comes to building local storage with multiple devices? Until now mdadm is our tool for that. :) And what about the NVMe devices? Are these WD devices suitable? Is there a cheaper...

    server hardware recommendation for PBS with about 50 tb usable storage

    Hi there, we're planning a new backup server (migration from Bareos to PBS) including new hardware. Therefore I would like to throw the following setup into discussion: https://www.thomas-krenn.com/loadproduct?id=y4cd0fdaaa218617b&lang=de in short: CPU: 1x AMD EPYC 7343 RAM: 64 GB DDR4-3200...

    Issue with upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1

    Hey, and I just noticed that on November 18th you tried apt upgrade dist... Did you really want to install/upgrade the package dist, or was it a failed attempt to do apt dist-upgrade? Nevertheless I don't know exactly how to resolve the current situation concerning the two packages held back...

    Issue with upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1

    I can't see the problem yet, but I have to take a sleep now. :) To be continued tomorrow.

    Issue with upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1

    It seems that in October you did apt-get dist-upgrade like recommended. On November 18th you started using apt uprade followed by apt autoremove. I'm not sure, but I strongly believe this could have damaged your system. Could you also post the related term* files? Maybe here we can see when...

    Issue with upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1

    I assume this is history.log? Yes, please also post history.log.1.gz. You can watch it with zless without unpacking.

    Issue with upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1

    Did you already try apt -f install? If not, please try.

    Issue with upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1

    Yes, that looks correct. Maybe you should comment out the line in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list or delete this file. It's cleaner but probably not the cause of your problem. In /var/log/apt/ you can find the history of upgrading your packages. Could you post the content of the...

    hardware recommendations for larger setup

    Hey Dunuin, you caught me :D because I have no experience with PBS yet, and so I don't know what is needed to have a fast GC and data verifying. The "max 12h for all data verify" is related to the 30TB I think, but anyway you're right: With these performance requirements flash based storage is...

    hardware recommendations for larger setup

    Hey phs, nice project! :) My few thoughts: Scaling up to 100TB using flash based storage (SSD, NVMe, ...) wouldn't be easy - and for sure very expensive. Personally I would rather tend to an HDD based storage. For example buildung a (ZFS) RAID10 with 6x 10 TB SAS HDDs would give you a solid...
